Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not.
Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends.

I'm reopening the GoFundMe to rectifying the error, and swallow my embarrassment.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.
this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.
Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.
Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

I do not want it. I want trains and public transit. I would GLADLY get rid of cars.
But here we are.
Most average working Americans abide by laws and norms. Most are kind and decent. But there is growing rot at the top of our system. And its stench can no longer be ignored. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-732
